“Khinkali is the best <a href="https://nnbjurw345.tistory.com/146" target="_blank">신촌동용달이사</a><br /> example” of such 
adaptability, she said. Gachechiladze tells an alternative “legend” of its first arrival in the 13th Century with the invading armies 
of Genghis Khan’s Mongol empire, its shape and flavour changing over the centuries that followed.

The meat and the dough combinations arrived as a <a href="https://llaiowui220.tistory.com/135" target="_blank">화성용달이사

symbol [shape], because even though they were Christian, they were still sun-worshippers and have this ‘Borjgali’ [the sun 
symbol which appears on Georgian coins and banknotes].”

Some similar dumplings, like Turkish and Armenian manti, are linked to <a href="https://qowoirue55.tistory.com/138"

English specialist of Chinese cuisine. The two have completed one of the few pieces of rigorous scholarship on dumpling 
history, presenting a paper in 2012 that traced dumpling connections along the Silk Road between Chinese and Turkish 
varieties.

Rachel Laudan, a US historian who wrote Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World <a href="https://gwwwerii338.tistory.com/92"

Asia and Europe. While khinikali would require more study, it’s “extremely credible” that they first arrived with the Mongols, 
Laudan said. “It’s <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.kr/gyeongok19/%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%ED%85%8C%EC%9D%B4%

independently’.”

5,000km to the east of Georgia, in south-western China. Effectively, if you look at a map of which countries have traditionally
